Summer Reading Help

I know it’s not summer yet, but it’s sure is REALLY hot where I live.
I need help with choosing a book I’m going to read for summer reading.
I narrowed the list down to 3.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

If you have read any of them, can you tell me what you like or dislike about them?
Thank you.

Catch 22 cause it’s one of the most recommended books.

I’ve enver read any of them. I only heard of Catch 22 cause I saw it on Harvard’s top 100 classical books to read…It’s on most “Top Books to read” too…So I think it’s a good classic. You can read an overview about your 3 choices so that you can make a more informed decision.

If you like classic books, I suggest The Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, The Alchemist, the Girl with the Pearl Earring, Les Miserables.

I’m reading Les miserables now.

Help me with: Please read my poem and find a title for it.

Thanks for coming and telling me what you think.2 of the books you mentioned are on the list, but I crossed them out after I read about all the books.

Ah, yes I remember.
I tried to read it without looking up what the slangs mean, it was so hard to read.
And I just read it again last week(with the meanings of the words this time…) I really like it.
You HAVE TO read it :D

The first time I read it I was on a plane to Washington DC

Though it made no sense… I had no idea what the words mean until I looked it up.

both Matian ch is more sci fi but kinda old school sci fi you know? still very good… and something wicked is more mysterious
